Hey so we are making WE private reserve amarone style, looking for the best yeast to use. After doing a bunch of research the ones i found that would best fit are 71b, rc212, bm4x4 and rp15. Out of those which would you say is the best? (i know they each have their pros and cons, but which would you say gives the best quality for what amarone is supposed to be)

I wouldn't use 71B for a wine kit. They are balanced using primarily malic acid and 71B should reduce the amount of malic acid, provided it isn't all man-made. I suppose if it were me and I wanted to change the yeast that the kit manufacturer thinks is best for the kit, I would switch to either RC212 (and add some extra nutrients) or I would use BM4x4. But to be honest, I am not one to switch the yeast.
I would use BM4x4 for an Amarone.
